Title: Improvements in or relating to Transmitting Switch Apparatus for the Control of Electric Motors.
Filed: 1912-01-16
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 1280. Vickers, Ltd., and Creffield, H. J. Jan. 16. Controllers with special arrangements or combinations of resistances. - A transmitter switch for connexion to a step-by-step motor has resistance coils connected between some of its elements, so that resistance is included in the circuit of one pair of field magnets during intervals when more than one pair of field magnets are energized. The motor is shown with three pairs of poles 1, 2, 3 on the field structure, and an armature with two pairs of unwound poles b, b<1>. The windings of the motor are connected through the reversing switch D and the controlling switch C to the generator A. The switch C is of the drum type, but is shown, for convenience, as being made up of a number of disks. The brushes C<1>, c<1>. C<2>, c<2>, &c. are connected to the reversing switch contacts, and each pair of brushes is connected by a resistance coil R<1>, R<2>, &c. Under the conditions shown in Fig. 1, current passes through the reversing switch and the brush C' to the pair of motor field magnets 1. The armature then takes up the position shown in the Figure. As the switch shaft G is rotated, contact is broken at the brush C' but is maintained through the brush c' and resistance R<1>. At the same time, the circuit of the field magnets 2 is completed so that the magnets 2 are fully energized and the magnets 1 are weakly energized. Further movement of the switch cuts out the magnets 1 and the poles b of the armature move opposite the magnets 2. This action is repeated as the switch is rotated, there being twenty-four stepby-step movements for one revolution of the motor. If the resistances R<1>, R<2>. R<3> are increased so much that the action of the current passing through them on the motor armature is negligible, the number of steps is reduced to twelve.

Abstract: 12,588. Marks, E. C. R., [Craven Engineering Co.]. May 28. Piston apparatus for discharging receptacles.-A container for semisolid and pasty substances, such as lubricants, soap, vaseline, b u t t e r, and cosmetics, is provided with a piston 6 connected by a band 9 with a portion 15 of a spring 16 coiled about a shaft 10. By turning the shaft in one direction by means of the handle 12, the coils of the spring grip the shaft and the piston is raised to force the contents out through registering apertures in the mouth 4 and cover 5. When the shaft is turned in the opposite direction, the coils open out and cease to grip the shaft. The shaft 10 can then be moved endways so that its handle does not project beyond the body of the container.

Abstract: 15,443. Staley, J. F., and Jackson, C. F. July 2. Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off gear.-A trip lever K, adapted to release a weighted lever K<2> connected to the throttle and brake of the winding-engine, is actuated directly by a stop D<2> or E<2> if the engine is started in the wrong direction, and indirectly by a floating lever F in the event of overwinding or excessive speed. The nuts A<2>, B<2> travelling along rotating screw shafts A are provided with rollers D adapted to engage, towards the end of a wind, with the upwardly curved end of a floating lever F, which may be either duplicated or forked. The lever is pivoted centrally to the sleeve N of a governor O<2>, and the opposite end carries an adjustable tappet for engaging an arm J and releasing the trip lever K, causing the throttle to be closed and the brake applied. In this way, the tripping is jointly dependent on the position and on the speed of the cages. If the speed is very high, the lever F is raised until a pin R engages a fixed bracket P, and any further increase releases the trip gear, although the nuts A<2>, B<2> may not have reached the upturned end F<2>. Each nut carries a stop D<2>. E<2> adapted to engage an arm M and release the trip gear if the cages pass beyond their stopping-places on account of overwinding or starting in the wrong direction.

Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 18,730. Bousfield, J. E., [Pintsch Akt.- Ges., J.]. Aug. 18. Pressure - regulating valves; plug cocks. - A pressure - regulating valve device particularly adapted for use in steam heating-plant for trains comprises a pressureregulating valve of ordinary construction combined with a manuallyactuated plug cock adapted to control the supply of steam to heaters of varying capacity. The plug of the cock, which may be conical, hemispherical, or of stepped form, is formed with an internal conical chamber 5 and nozzle 26 to which steam is admitted by a port 30 at the bottom of the plug controlled by the valve 1 of the pressure-regulator, and from which steam passes to the outlet pipes 9, 10, by way of ports 18, 19, 20. The port 18 is situated at the lower portion of the plug, so that, when this plug is used, the flow of steam is retarded by whirling in the chamber 5 while the ports 19, 20 are of different widths, and extend to the top of the plug, to afford practically a straight path for the steam. The ports are so arranged that either pipe may be fed through the port 18, and either or both pipes may be fed through a port extending to the top of the plug. Grooves 23, 24 are formed on the surface of the plug to admit steam to the pipes for a preliminary heating without passing through the pressureregulating valve. The plug is pressed to its seat by a spring 12, and is coupled to an actuating-spindle by a claw coupling 13, 14. The actuating-spindle has a conical packing-collar 16, and is actuated by a handle 17. The pressureregulating valve 1 is actuated by a bellows 2 loaded by a spring 7, which is adjusted by a lever extending to the outside of the casing 3.

The single - trees are pivoted to blocks 7 which pass between the open jaws of clips 2 clamped about a transverse rod 1 secured to the pole. The blocks are normally retained in the jaws by vertical pins 9 held down by springs in casings 8. The upper ends of these pins are connected to the slotted ends of levers 14 pivoted about a transverse bar 13 fixed on the pole.
